Is Your Low-Carb Diet Giving You Dragon Breath?

Many people mistakenly believe that all bad breath is linked to substandard brushing. The truth is that there are many causes of halitosis. At Rotem Dental Care in Toms River NJ, we can help you pinpoint the cause of your problem and discuss how to cure bad breath.

Your diet greatly affects your breath. Because foods begin to be digested the second they enter your mouth, and because they are absorbed and distributed throughout the body, you probably will be able to smell strong foods like onions and garlic long after you’ve eaten them.

Therefore, using a mouthwash will only mask the smell. Constantly sucking on breath mints is also not a good idea. This may bring additional oral issues—especially if the mints have sugar. If you want real relief, you may need to avoid the strong foods altogether.

In addition, many dieters find that their diet regimen is making it harder to keep their mouth fresh and clean. Low-carb and no-carb diets promote fat burning, but the side effect of bad breath can be caused by the chemicals released during this process. Increasing water intake can help alleviate this.

Lastly, flossing regularly is often the key to truly fresh breath. Many men and women don’t realize how much food can be stuck between their teeth, and this food can cause halitosis if it isn’t removed. More importantly, the food particles turn into plaque which can cause cavities and gum disease.

Excellent! I was having difficulty finding a competent dentist after an unfortunate experience with a "dental group". My experience with Dr. Rotem was pleasant, and the results were outstanding. Staff is most courteous and helpful, and wait time for a scheduled appointment is frequently zero. Hygienist Joy does outstanding work, and helps with explaining the how & why of oral hygiene.
